The home is a reinterpretation of the Dutch colonial manor and sits prominently on a [sloping plot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedro-domingos-arquitectos). The home is a narrow concrete block with two stories. The first level houses the main living spaces, and the upper level is the sleeping quarter. To create a sense of privacy, certain sides of the homes are closed off, and others feature bright windows - which creates a delicate balance between private and open. The concrete roof stands as the prominent feature - it is divided into two blocks and provides the house with shade, and most importantly, acts as an eave during heavy rainfalls. To balance the heavy concrete exterior, [warm-colored woods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omer-arbel) and light decorations furnish the interior.
